Battery notes
The battery in your TomTom GO navigation
device charges when you connect it to the
car charger or to your computer.
When you connect your device to a compu-
ter, you are asked if you want to connect to
the computer. If you select No and then do
not tap the screen within three minutes, the
device will automatically switch off. This
happens so that the battery can charge
faster.
Note : You should plug the USB connector di-
rectly into a USB port on your computer and
not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard
or monitor.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO nav-
igation device, the device may need a few
minutes to determine your GPS position
and show your current position on the map.
In future, your position will be found much
faster, usually within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should
use your device outdoors. Large objects
such as tall buildings can sometimes inter-
fere with reception.
The TomTom GO 950 includes Enhanced
Positioning Technology or EPT. EPT auto-
matically estimates your position when the
GPS signal is lost while you are driving,
such as when you are in a tunnel. When EPT
is in use, the EPT symbol is shown in the
Driving View.
